France celebrates wokery instead of athletes at its Olympics opener
American Thinker ^ | 28 Jul, 2024 | Monica Showalter

The opener was loathesome.

Are Le French bored with the Olympics already?

You know, like the little disgruntled Frenchman at the cafe in the 1994 DHL ad, complaining about le bourgeois businessmen waiting for their packages and saying they can wait?

You'd almost think so given the strange ennui and decadence seen in the opening ceremony.

Their opener was loaded with offensive and irrelevant distractions at the expense of its athletic purpose, making one wonder if they were interested in the Olympics at all.

There was of course the blasphemous woke section featuring drag queens led by a morbidly obese person with the stage name 'Barbara Butch' playing the Virgin Mary in a Bahomet getup and halo reenacting the Last Supper, with a blue Pan-like nearly naked man being presented on the serving platter, eating food himself. It as all about some kind of "inclusion," they later claimed. Actually, it was a mockery of Catholicism, an odd thing to mock in a country where cathedrals are being set on fire and priests are being stabbed by Muslim fanatics.

A tech company has since pulled its ads, and the higher quality of Catholic bishops in the U.S., such as Robert Barron of Minnesota and Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, have condemned the mockery of Christians from what is supposedly a Christian country, some asking if they'd like to try that on Muslims. Since then, even French bishops have spoken up. The Olympics themselves are reportedly pulling the video, based on viewers tuning out.

Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone @ArchCordileone Secular fundamentalism has now infiltrated the Olympics, even to the point of blaspheming the religion of over a billion people. Would they do that with any other religion? I ask all of our people to pray for a restoration of good will and respect.

The organisers of the Olympics chose the anniversary of the beheading of Fr. Jacques Hamel to use images of violent decapitation and to MOCK the Last Supper.

Today is the 8th anniversary of Catholic priest Jaques Hamel's martyrdom. On 26 July, 2016, while celebrating Mass at Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray church in Rouen, France, Father Jaques Hamel was assassinated by Islamic State terrorists.

To be fair, it was not the choice of France, and certainly not the athletes. It was the Satanists producing and directing the production. They have wormed themselves into control of that aspect of the Olympic Committee, just has they have in large portions of Western Culture.

The French Fries have gone soggy with queerness. Geez. The world is a real sh*thole with the communists running everything. It won’t be long now until communist slavery takes over everything and we’re all on the commie plantation.

For the pre-WWII era the French were world leaders in sexual perversion, which was really a complete nothing compared to our current era. Their extreme liberalism for that WWII era led to having a very poor military in which the Germans them mopped up with ease. I read reports where the British Expeditionary Force did much of the fighting while the French soldiers mostly hid.

Fast forward to today and France is again ripe for the taking. And it’s all their own doing.

And what’s going on there is definite proof liberalism is a mental disease.

Note the little girl in yellow, age about 10, with the pedo in black hovering around her. Video showed his testicles were hanging out, as he hand-flashed the satanic devil horn. Later she danced in the midst of drag queens, leering at her.

Gotta wonder about the welfare of that child.

Well, there still is the closing ceremony yet to come. These depraved French fag’s producing these ceremonies are probably saying right “You ain’t seen nothing yet!”

This wouldn’t have happened if Macron didn’t permit it. Looks like he is turning France over to the drag and queer crowd, and the radical islamists.

No surprise. biden and harris are doing the same thing in the USA.

Both groups passionately want to eliminate Christianity.
